I found a better solution that lets you use the latest version of TeamViewer. I use uBlockOrigin on my browser, which is blocking whatever script is being used on the bank's website and lets TeamViewer continue running. I don't know exactly which script it is because I never needed to target it directly. One of the optional default lists apparently covers it, so that's a good solution for me. I had previously had uBlockOrigin turned off for the bank site - but I discovered that turning it on fixed the issue completely, so I thought I would share that with everyone else.

I have not tried rolling back to previous version of TV, but you could always try it. Then it's definitely sounding like something that TeamViewer needs to address. This is getting ridiculous. A website should not disable a completely different application. If this is based on a security script, then it sounds like it's a single third-party script that multiple companies are using. TeamViewer needs to address this immediately.

You claim a cat-and-mouse game, but I've been using TeamViewer for years, and this is the first time I've ever run across this. Perhaps it's just a matter of one change that introduced this vulnerability, in which case it may be an easy fix. I would think you would have a vested interest in preventing a browser script from interfering with your program's functionality.

When choosing to save a file that someone has made available during a TeamViewer chat, TeamViewer uses the most obnoxious path browser to choose the save location. This is a problem because: 1. It's a limited version path browsing window. This means you can't Paste a path for ease, you have to go and click all the little arrows and graphically navigate to the final location instead of just hitting Ctrl+V if you have it copied already. 2. You don't remember the chosen path location. Why the heck not? There is NO ADVANTAGE in forcing people to have to re-navigate for Every. Single. File. This annoyance is significantly compounded by problem #1. So please fix this already! Changing the type of path browser is a 5 second modification to the code. And letting TeamViewer remember the save location (and yes, you can remember between sessions as well!) might be a 10 minute modification to the code. But this would save a tremendous amount of frustration for your users that's completely unnecessary.

@AlanW1 wrote: Hi bailey, Thank you for posting. It is true that your remote connetion will terminate when you try to log in online bank. It is most probaly because these websites safety functions prevent any screen capture, which unfortunitely is the way TeamViewer is working. One workaround is that you can try these login page on the remote devices other than host PCs. Or when your connection terminates, just try to connect again. Hope this helps you. No, this does not help me. Because sometimes, I need to log into a bank website WHILE I'm in a Teamviewer chat because we're discussing something and I need to look it up while I'm talking to that other person. So it sounds like TeamViewer made a change that makes it possible for banks to disable the TeamViewer connection. This is NOT acceptable. It should be MY choice when to end my session - not a website's! If anything, you should have made this a configuration setting - to allow bank websites to end TeamViewer sessions for security, OR NOT. It's not your place to make that decision for the user. I find that I'm getting more and more disenchanted with TeamViewer due to various changes you've made over the past year.

Thank you. When I initially disabled 2 factor authentication, all of the systems under "My Computers" disappeared. I thought I had lost the connection to them - since they had been set up to only be accessible from my account. After your post, I logged in again, and they were now showing up. It looks like it was just a visual glitch - but I am very relieved that that's all it was. Thank you for your help.

I was changing phones, and rather than risk having my 2 factor authentication not work correctly on the new phone, I figured I would just disable it on my account, switch phones, and then turn it back on again. What I didn't realize was that by disabling 2 factor authentication, I would lose every linked computer on my account. This has put me in a bind - as several of them are for computers that I do not have local access to at the moment, so I have no good way to set it up again with a new key. Is there any way to restore the linked computers - even if it means reinstating the original 2 factor authentication seed?
